Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

And went with a T99, this is about all my vast knowledge could handle :lol

The front barrel band, reciever and bolt all match. It has the slots for the airplane sights. It has the 3 twined circles, that was tokyo right? I couldn't hold the camera steady enough for that to turn out

The three twined circles are supposed to represent the top view of 4 cannon balls in a pile. According to my Military Rifles Of Japan, it was used as the Tokyo arsenal prior to 1923, and as the Kokura arsenal symbol from 1923 to 1945.

That's one of the more enthusiastic mum grinds I've seen. One can have a whole area of interest in that alone. I could start collecting examples of all the ways it was done if I had nothing else going on.

interesting you mention that. ive often wondered if that might be an incidental emphasis, ive noticed as you have the vary definite to the tentative removal of the "mum" and often wondered if there was a record of who actually did it ...and with what intent/motivation?

You have a 21st series Kokura produced rifle.

It did have a monopod and dust cover when produced.

Cool, thanks, so around what year were these made?

I guess I'll have to spend some more money trying to get those

I think I'll buy some dies and brass first.
